He qualified for the final in 1929, losing to Mr. Shewan who also beat him in 1830 in the first round.

Mr. Marton is well known in Shanghai and Manila also, having been one of Hong Kong's represen- tatives in interport matches, playing hero in the triangular contest in 1028, and paying visits to Shanghai in 1928 and 1930 and to Manila in 10:19.
